Provenance Marian Goodman Gallery, New York Exhibited New York, Marian Goodman Gallery, Thomas Schütte One Man Houses, 12 May - 2 July 2005 Catalogue Essay The work of Thomas Schütte is characterised by experimentation with a variety of media and ranges from installations, construction, sculpture, architectural models to painting, drawings, graphic works and watercolours. From the beginning of his career, Schütte has considered sculpture through varied strategies, experimenting with scale, material and genre. The present lots stem from architectural models that form part of Schütte’s oeuvre from the 1980s, and which surfaced again in the series of five scalemodel houses shown at Marian Goodman Gallery in New York in 2005. This new series of sculptural houses and associated design works, to which these two lots belong, were intended to promote the idea of ‘useable architecture’. They were designed for the useful organisation of living and represent the application of Schütte’s concept of sculpture as an architectural model and as an art form intended for practical use.
